History

Кино (Kino, Russian for "cinema" or "movie") was a Soviet rock band formed by Виктор Цой (Viktor Tsoi) in Leningrad (present-day St. Petersburg). They were one of the most famous Soviet new wave bands of the 1980s.

The band was formed by Tsoi, Aleksei Rybin, and Oleg Valinskiy in the summer of 1981 in Leningrad, USSR (now St. Petersburg) as a punk rock band Garin i giperboloidy (Гарин и гиперболоиды) (after a novel by Aleksey Tolstoy, Giperboloid inzhenera Garina, The Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin). A year later the name of the band was changed to Кино (often stylized in uppercase: "КИНО"), as Tsoi wanted their name to be able to be pronounced by people all over the world easily.
